If the cavalry legions could be brought there entirely, the collapse of the Moses Empire would be even more rapid, and it might even be easily swept away.
Hearing his words, Xue Rengui shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Transporting warhorses is a major problem; it will be difficult for us to safely deliver them to their destination."
It wasn't because there weren't enough warships, but because of the problem of warhorses adapting to the environment, which was a huge challenge.
The fact that warhorses are difficult to manage at sea is a minor issue; they require a large amount of food reserves and are not well-adapted to the marine environment, and may even suffer from seasickness.
These factors made the transport of warhorses across the sea extremely difficult, and a large number of warhorses even died at sea.
Therefore, to solve the cavalry problem, the problem of transporting warhorses must be solved first.
Forehead!
Lin Yi had no solution to this problem. He couldn't very well give his warhorse seasickness medication; that would be rather unreliable.
The key issue is still the adaptation to the environment; the warhorses must first be allowed to acclimatize at sea.
Only after adapting to the warm and humid environment can long-distance transportation be carried out; otherwise, serious accidents are likely to occur.
To put it bluntly, this is a matter of experience, since back then no army transported warhorses across the sea.
He said in a deep voice, "First, select some warhorses that are not afraid of the sea and send them to the front-line troops. They will tear apart the enemy's front line."
The remaining warhorses began training to improve their seafaring abilities.
I suggest you put them in a sealed space, cover their eyes and ears, then their levitation concept will naturally not be a problem."
The reason for motion sickness and seasickness is mostly due to discomfort caused by visual disturbances, leading to vomiting and other nausea.
But it would be much better if we couldn't see it. The sea is generally quite calm and there are usually no problems with the waves unless there is a shipwreck, which is unavoidable.
In this situation, being in the dark would reduce a lot of trouble.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. After careful consideration, they realized it was indeed a good idea. After all, if the warhorse didn't know its surroundings and thought it was in a stable, there would be no problem.
Li Ru said in a deep voice, "I think we can give it a try. We have so many horse farms and bases in Great Liang now, so we don't care about losing a ship or two of warhorses. Let's send someone over and give it a shot."
After conquering so many countries, the Great Liang Empire didn't have much else, but its territory was absolutely vast, with plenty of horse farms and forests to support horse breeding, so it didn't care about having a few warhorses.
If successful, the benefits will be countless, so a little sacrifice is worthwhile.
Wang Ziwen nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "I also think it's worth a try. Even if the warhorses cannot be safely transported to the front lines, they can be eaten as meat once they are delivered. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
If losing a few warhorses could gain the entire Moses Empire, then it would definitely be a worthwhile trade.
Even if it doesn't succeed, it's not a big problem; we can just eat it.
And forget about warhorses; they are the soldiers' best friends. But often even best friends can't help them. Death might be the greatest blessing for them, otherwise they would continue their journey on the battlefield.
Lin Yi nodded slightly upon hearing this and said in a deep voice, "Then let's give it a try. Select 100,000 healthy and fine horses and send them over. Since our Great Liang Empire dominates the Central Continent, we are not afraid of such a small loss."
But if successful, the Moses Empire will never have peace!
This is the world's most advanced cavalry, possessing formidable mobility, which destined it to be a terrifying army.
Even if they establish themselves on enemy territory, the enemy will not be able to completely annihilate them. Instead, they will be pulled back and killed by these cavalry, or even have their defenses breached by powerful surprise attacks. That is the most terrifying thing.
At that point, the enemy will truly be in a dilemma, because their numerical advantage will vanish, and they will instead be caught in a hunt.
The initiative lies with the cavalry; they can fight or retreat as they please. As long as they have sufficient rear space, the cavalry legions will have a significant advantage.
Imagine a million-strong army being pulled along by hundreds of thousands of cavalry; the feeling of being constantly on the run is absolutely terrifying.
Once you fall into exhaustion, the cavalry will charge in with terrifying destructive power; the enemy will inevitably collapse if they are not careful.
"Your Majesty is wise. The Moses Empire is so arrogant, spending three million troops to attack the Xinma Empire. It's time for our Great Liang Empire to teach them a lesson. Otherwise, they'll really think they're so great." Cao Cao sneered and said in a deep voice.
The Moses Empire sent people to exchange ideas multiple times, claiming to want to befriend the Great Liang Empire Great Liang Empire, but then turned around and attacked it. He hated these scoundrels the most.
If possible, wiping them out is the greatest respect we can show them.
"Excellent, I request to participate."
Huo Qubing stepped out from the crowd, his face resolute.
During this western expedition, he repeatedly cut off enemy forces and carried out numerous decapitation strikes. However, he was not satisfied with his military achievements; he needed to challenge even more enemies, for this was his destiny.
"I'll go too. I've been wanting to get back at them for a long time," Xue Rengui said in a deep voice.
He still felt resentful when Abide Leier escaped into the dense forest, tying down his forces. Even though Abidre has now been defeated, that resentment hasn't faded at all; in fact, it's intensified.
Qi Jiguang, unusually, could no longer remain seated. He said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, you know me, Qi Jiguang. My army was raised purely on the water's edge, so it remains extremely adept at naval warfare. I request to join."
Forehead!
Seeing their initiative, Lin Yi couldn't help but nod.
He would naturally not refuse these renowned ministers and generals who wanted to shine. Among them, Qi Jiguang, in particular, possessed the most advanced army and might even be skilled in naval warfare, so sending him would be a good idea.
"Okay, anyone who wants to go can sign up!"
"However, this kind of cross-sea operation is quite dangerous, so you must consider it carefully. If you cannot adapt to the ocean, it's best not to go."
Everything else is a minor issue at sea; seasickness is absolutely fatal, needless to say.
In this situation, you absolutely cannot go; otherwise, you'll just be throwing your life away, which is pointless.
